A Prosperous Country
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 5 years ago
Why Nations Fail was a book that I never would have read on my own, but luckily it was required for one of my classes. It was insightful and showed me what makes a prosperous country. But buyer beware: if historical anecdotes are not for you, I recommend another book. Overall, it was a pleasant read that helped me to better understand how the political systems and economy can affect the future of a nation.
